Andy Rankin had the game of his life standing in for the injured Westy at the pit with 3 other first team players missing, we hammered them at the pit 4-0 - My older brother was there - when Johnny Morrissey thundered a shot into the kop end goal to make it 4-0 - the KOP just emptied -
When poor Andy Rankin died - Joe Royle claimed with only being the reserve Goalkeeper to Westy - he was the only player to drive into Bellfield in a Robin reliant - how times compare with the players of today paywise .... -
The famous boys pen - Bill stood in there you know ..... I only went in omce & I was 17 years old - it was a bear pit - the first & the last time - The view was pathetic - The kids blocked your view by climbing up the cage - I was approached to be mugged twice & had to punch the guy's lights out - Glad to get out of there in one piece TBH - never ever went back in my mate was skint that day - I told him safer in the away end or the Gwladys street end - I offered to loan him the extra , but no it was the cheapest fee to enter Goodison - never again ! - Did BK ever go in ? - I doubt it .._
Ipswich Town v Everton, March 1976 -George Telfer and Ken McNaught battle it out with Trevor Whymark, and David Johnson our former youth prodigy who should never have been used in a swap deal for the useless Rod Belfit plus cash - we got beat 1-0 -
@bluelord49 is this you holding the banner EVERTON THE GEAR in 1966 - he has not been seen on the GOT since last September, I have tried to pm him to no avail I hope he is OK -
Bullets road improvement at Goodison August 1963- this may have been when the lower Bullens seating was put in above the old paddock before that it was an all standing area - very popular spec back then stood under cover -
Everton squad dining, late 1940s-style. Tommy Eglington, Stan Bentham, T.G. Jones, Ted Sagar, Gordon Watson, Gordon Dugdale, Cyril Lellio and others enjoy the fare in a very salubrious setting -
I was right behind this goal Joe hit the bar first with a header & followed in with a great leap like lightning to score to put us 2-0 up v Leeds we won 3 -2 they got 2 late goals - we finished their unbeaten record - & went on to become Champions -
30th August 1969; Mick Jones in a foot race against Everton full back Sandy Brown, at Goodison Park in that 3-2 win for us - we outplayed them that day the current champions -
19th April 1969; Burnley winger David Thomas in action against Manchester United, at Old Trafford. We eventually signed him -after he went to QPR - how we missed signing him in the first place is a mystery - he became a great winger for us -
